Abstract

The present application discloses an efficient process for the preparation of N-acetyl-L-cysteine amide (NACA) starting with N-acetyl-L-cysteine.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is U.S. 371 National Phase Application of PCT No. PCT / US2015 / 022910, international filing date of 27 Mar. 2015, title, METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF N-ACETYL CYSTEINE AMIDE, and claims benefit of U.S. Provisional U.S. Ser. No. 61 / 972,133, filed on 28 Mar. 2014.STATEMENT OF FEDERALLY FUNDED RESEARCH[0002]None.BACKGROUND OF THE APPLICATION[0003]Decreased glutathione (GSH) availability in the brain is linked to several neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease. Means of restoring GSH levels include delivery of GSH precursors, e.g. N-acetyl cysteine, N-acetyl cysteine amide (NACA) or cysteine to the brain. However, directly administered, these GSH precursors have limited therapeutic usefulness because of their limited bioavailability.[0004]The preparation of N-acetyl cysteine amide (NACA) has been previously described in J. Med. Chem. 1967, 10, 1172-1176.[0005]There is a need for developing an efficient method ...
